People even spend more time on Pokémon GO than both Facebook and Snapchat.
Most detractors of Pokemon GO will tell you that the game can’t keep up its wild success forever, and while they’re right in that regard, early estimates on things like player retention, downloads, and the amount of money players are spending on the game can only be described as unpecedented.
Congratulations, dedicated Pokemon Go users. If the growth continues, the game will have more users than Snapchat and even Google Maps on Android devices.
There are 21 million daily active users in the USA, which means that they have officially surpassed Candy Crush saga. This has resulted in a positive bump in Nintendo’s share value, with tech pundits already proclaiming the new app as a game changer.
The game involves users going to different places using their Global Positioning System and camera to search for Pokemons or pocket monsters and upon seeing a Pokemon pop up on their phone screen, capturing it.
As game developers make users step into the real world, it creates a new revenue stream. Whether you’re someone who grew up with Pokemon as a kid when it was still fresh, or you’ve now got kids of your own who are also fans of the franchise, there’s no doubting that the game has swept the country and other parts of the globe internationally. The question now is, “how long will the Pokemon GO trend last?”
Pokemon Go is a free app developed by augmented reality company Niantic in collaboration with Pokemon Company.
